was an Egyptiannovelist
and writer. He wrote some 70 books, including twenty novels, critical
studies, historical tales, plays and short story collections.[3][1] Khairy is widely regarded as having written novels “of the Egyptian street.”[2]Adam Talib, who translated The Hashish Waiter, said of Shalaby’s prose:

“The most enjoyable—and the most difficult—thing about Khairy’s
prose is the way he mixes language levels (registers) within a single
sentence or paragraph. Khairy doesn’t go in for the prophetic or
philosophical or pompous-sounding stuff…and he really seems to be having
a lot of fun when he writes. I guess what I’m trying to say is that
Khairy doesn’t spend a lot of time looking up from the story. He doesn’t
look over his shoulder like some writers and he doesn’t spend too much
energy worrying about what ‘the critics’ will say. I haven’t asked him
but I’m fairly certain he’s never spent a second thinking about how this
might sound when it’s translated. …. In many ways, Arabic novels are
still having a conversation with the culture at large—they’re very
engaged—and it’s reflected in this style of novel. Khairy Shalaby is an
important artist and also a very good critic, but he doesn’t go in for
that sort of thing. Like Yusuf al-Qa’eed, Khairy tries to show that
novels don’t have to be explicitly intellectual, or about intellectuals,
to handle important political and social questions in a very
sophisticated way.”[2]

Life and playing career

Born in Waterloo, Liverpool, Lancashire, England,
Hughes was a strong, uncompromising Centre Half, who could also play
wing half; he had the knack of being able to read the game-stopping
moves before they caused too many problems.
Hughes signed for Liverpool in 1943 from Tranmere where he was a
trainee; however, it wasn’t until 5 January 1946 that he made his debut
in a 2–0 FA Cup 3rd round 1st leg victory at Sealand Road, Chester, his one and only goal didn’t come until 8 December 1951 in a league game at Anfield against Preston, Hughes’ 88th-minute strike saving a point in the 2–2 draw.
During the first post-war season of 1946–47 Hughes made 30 appearances from 42 games helping the Reds win the First DivisionChampionship, Liverpool’s first title in 24 years.
1950 proved to be a rollercoaster of a season for Hughes, on a high due to reaching the FA Cup final at Wembley only to lose to Arsenal 2–0. He then was selected to represent England at the World Cup in Brazil[1]
getting all of his 3 caps in the process and becoming Liverpool’s first
representative at the worlds premier football tournament,
unfortunately, one of the appearances was the embarrassing 1–0 defeat to
the USA. His debut came on 25 June 1950 in Rio De Janeiro, Chile were the opponents who were beaten 2-0 with the goals coming from Stan Mortensen and Wilf Mannion.
Hughes and Liverpool’s fortunes changed during the fifties when the
Reds fell from the top tier, they managed to fend off relegation during
the 1952–53 season but couldn’t prevent the drop a season later.
Hughes stayed on at Liverpool and had a decent season in the 1956/57
missing just one match. Hughes played his last game against Charlton
on 28 September 1957 aged 33, however, Hughes remained loyal to the
club he loved and didn’t retire for another 3 years, finally doing so in
May 1960.
Hughes died at home on 9 September 2011 aged 87.[2]

Toronto Blue Jays

Jefferson set many career highs with the Blue Jays in 1977. His 33 starts and 217 innings pitched were by far his best. Despite setting a Blue Jay franchise record with nine walks in a game against Baltimore on June 18,[4] Jefferson’s strikeout-to-walk ratio was also a career best 1.37 as he struck out 114 batters versus 83 walks.
Perhaps the most memorable outing of Jefferson’s career came on May 16, 1980 against eventual 22–game winner Mike Norris
and the Oakland A’s. Jefferson held the A’s to just four hits over
eleven innings while striking out ten. Norris was equally brilliant, but
the Jays managed to squeak out a run in the bottom of the eleventh to
earn Jefferson the win.[5]
Things went south quickly for Jefferson after that performance as he
lost his next five decisions. He made his final appearance for Toronto
on September 1, facing five batters and retiring just one while giving
up three earned runs, allowing an inherited runner to score and committing an error. He was placed on waivers with a 4–13 record and 5.47 ERA.
He was selected off waivers by the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 11,[6] and made just one appearance for the club, beating the Chicago Cubs.[7]
Following the season, he signed as a free agent with the California Angels.He started the 1981
season in the Angels’ starting rotation, but after going 0–4 with a
4.68 ERA in his first five starts, was moved into the bullpen. He
pitched far better in relief, going 2–0 with a 1.04 ERA in 21
appearances. He spent Spring training1982 with the Orioles, but did not make the club.

Career stats

Jefferson he was in the top ten in the league in walks allowed three times, top ten in losses twice, top ten in earned runs allowed twice, and second in the league in home runs allowed in 1978. He led the league in errors committed by a pitcher with eight in 1977.
In 2011, Jefferson died of prostate cancer.[8]

Mary Fickett was an American actress, best known for her roles in the American television dramas, The Edge of Night — as Sally Smith (1961), and as Dr. Katherine Lovell (1967–68) — and as Ruth Parker Brent on All My Children (1970–1996; 1999–2000) died from complications of Alzheimer’s disease died she was 83..

Personal life

Fickett had two children from her three marriages. Her third and
final marriage was to Allen Fristoe (a daytime TV director) from June
1979 until his death in 2008.

All My Children

In January 1970, the American Broadcasting Company launched its new soap opera All My Children, created by Agnes Nixon. Fickett was an original cast member playing Ruth Parker Brent,
a nurse at the local hospital and wife of alcoholic car salesman Ted
Brent. Her character quickly found an attraction to the widowed Dr. Joe
Martin (Ray MacDonnell).
The pair tried to ignore their attraction until Ruth’s husband was
killed in a car accident. Ruth and Joe married on screen but found their
happiness cut short by the Vietnam War. Agnes Nixon had always intended for her soap to deal with important issues of the day, so to facilitate Richard Hatch exiting the role of Phil Brent his character was drafted into service.[citation needed]
Ruth became an anti-war protester and made some of the first
anti-Vietnam speeches aired on American Daytime Television. This
storyline decision, although troubling to television executives at the
time, won Fickett the first Emmy Award given to a performer in daytime television, in 1973. She received a Daytime Emmy
nomination in 1974 for her performance in a storyline that involved her
son being missing in action. This was another milestone for daytime TV,
as it was the first time a war scene was aired on daytime television.
The audience saw Phil being hit by a bullet and going down, then carried
away by a young Vietnamese boy (played by the adopted son of a friend
of Nixon).[citation needed]
Joe and Ruth were happily married, but found they could not conceive a
child together. To have the child they always wanted they began
proceedings to adopt Tad Gardner, a child that had been abandoned. A
problem arose when Tad’s father, Ray Gardner, arrived in town wanting
money and filed a lawsuit to stop the adoption proceedings. He then
tried to extort money from the Martin family, in exchange for stopping
the lawsuit. Joe refused to do this and kicked him out of his house, but
Ruth called him back saying they could “sort things out”. Fickett’s
second controversial storyline started when Ray showed up in a drunken
rage and raped Ruth. She received her second Daytime Emmy nomination for this storyline in 1976.

Retirement

In the mid-1990s Fickett decided that she wanted to slow down her
schedule and spend more time with her family. She allowed her contract
to expire and expected to go on recurring status, meaning she could
still appear on the program but did not have to meet any contractual
obligations or minimum number of appearances. Negotiations with the
producers of the program broke down and the role of Ruth Martin was
recast with Lee Meriwether
taking on the character in 1996. In 1999, Meriwether was fired and
Fickett rehired on recurring status. She resumed the role of Ruth and
supported several front burner storylines including son Tad’s romance
with Dixie and the breakdown of son Jake (Joe) Martin’s marriage to
Gillian. After another year, Fickett decided to call it quits from the
busy schedule of soap opera acting and retired in December 2000. In
2002, the producers wanted to bring the character of Ruth back, but
Fickett remained in retirement, so Meriwether was rehired and played
Ruth whenever the occasion arose.

He was also a research fellow at the Sol Snider Center, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. His book Knowledge Assets was awarded the Ansoff Prize for the best book on strategy in 2000. The I-Space framework which is central to his work is an acknowledged early influence on the development of the Cynefin framework.[3]
He attended Gordonstoun and later studied architecture at the University of Cambridge and city planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, before taking his PhD in technology transfer at Imperial College London.
After working as a manager for construction firm Trafalgar House, in
1972 Boisot co-founded an architectural partnership, Boisot Waters
Cohen, and from 1975 to 1978 acted as a consultant on projects in France
and the Middle East.[4]from 1983 to 1989, he was Director and Dean of China Europe Management Institute in Beijing China.
Max Boisot died from cancer on 7 September 2011, aged 67.[5]
